White Paper of Peaceful Development

China plays important role in safeguarding world peace, meeting global
challenges: white paper
2011/09/06

BEIJING, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- China plays an important role in
safeguarding world peace and meeting global challenges, says a white
paper titled as "China's Peaceful Development" issued on Tuesday.

China is the only nuclear-weapon country that has publicly stated that
it will not be the first to use nuclear weapons, or use or threaten to
use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or
nuclear-weapon-free zones, the white paper says.

According to the white paper, China has dispatched about 21,000
personnel on 30 United Nations peacekeeping missions, which is the
highest number among the permanent members of the UN Security Council.

"China takes an active part in international cooperation in
anti-terrorism and nonproliferation," it says.

"It provides humanitarian aid and dispatches rescue teams to countries
hit by severe natural disasters and deploys naval escort fleets to
combat piracy in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia," it says.

According to the paper, China is a member of over 100 intergovernmental
international organizations, a party to over 300 international
conventions, and an active participant in building the international
system.

"China is the first developing country to formulate and implement the
National Climate Change Program," says the white paper.

"It is also one of the countries which have made the greatest efforts in
energy saving and emission reduction and which have made the fastest
progress in developing new and renewable energy sources in recent
years,"it says.

China has played a constructive role in addressing international and
regional hotspot problems. For instance, it calls for resolving the
Korean nuclear issue, the Iranian nuclear issue and other hotspot issues
through peaceful talks, and has helped to establish the Six-Party Talks
mechanism on the Korean nuclear issue, the white paper says.

China has settled historical boundary issues with 12 land neighbors. It
calls for settling disputes over territory and maritime rights and
interests with neighboring countries through dialogue and negotiation.
For instance, China has made a constructive proposal to "shelve disputes
and seek joint development" and done its utmost to uphold peace and
stability in the South China Sea, East China Sea and the surrounding
areas, it says.

China seeks to promote common development and prosperity in the
Asia-Pacific region by pursuing bilateral cooperation and participating
in regional and sub-regional cooperation, says the white paper.

"China's development since New China was founded in 1949 and
particularly since the reform and opening-up policies were introduced in
1978 shows that China is an important member of the international
community which has contributed its due share to bringing about a more
just and equitable international political and economic order," it noted.

The white paper, released by the State Council Information Office,
introduces the path, objective and foreign policy of the peaceful
development and elaborates on what China's peaceful development means to
the rest of the world.
